Tearing it down now install the PSC hydro assist setup. While I'm at it I need to flip the front lower control arms and install some shorter front bump stops.

Great job on the quality control, Clayton. Guess I'll just use hockey pucks.

Thats some reL work right there Bubba

Well we all know mine ain’t a classic, so there’s that part

by the time I sell, it should have 150k plus miles on a diesel engine that seemingly nobody ever wants. I’ll take what I can get. Plus it’ll have a really cool aluminum camper shell on it by then to bring the value back up

150k on a diesel...crap just got broke in real good.

Just put a mini Cummins in it when the engine goes.

I've been watching a few videos on swapping the TJ 4.0 out for a Kubota mechanical diesel. It's pretty cool! I bet a 4bt would be nice in the gladiator

So unique. I love things that others don’t do.

Got my front tube doors and installed them. Rears won't arrive until Tuesday. Took a long ride after I installed them. I love open air driving. I traded a convertible for my gladiator and forgot how much I love having the top down.

Dude, this jeep looks so clean it looks either fake, AI generated, or a remote control car. LOL. Kudos!

So I finally fixed the week sounding jeep horn, I bought the horn a year ago never got to installing it it is a: Bad Boy Model 419 12-Volt 123.5 Decibels 530 / 680 Hz
and I have one in my suburban and Mini Countryman its virtual a compact train horn. I it bought at Harbor Freight with coupon

So what had been holding up this mod is I didn't want to cut up the jeeps harness and it seemed no one sold a JT /LJ horn harness

After some research I finally figured out jeep and ford share the same horn plugs, armed with that I was able to search for connectors, while scouring the Jungle site I found that Farbin sold pig tail adapters, I could just unhook a horn and it plug in
FARBIN Car Horn Special Plug Compatible with Ford Adapter Converter Wiring Harness Pigtail Socket Car Horn Connector Harnesses Cable 3Pcs

That would have been fine, I could have snipped the ends made an extension and had my loud horn ......
However, when i added to cart i noticed Farbin had other options on the same page. I found it! a y splice for the horns now jeep horn and the loud "train horn"

FARBIN 1 to 2 Horn Adapter Connector for Ford, Y Type Horn Connector Converter Wiring Harness, Plug and Play

So Today was the day first I had to find what wire was the positive and negative ...easy
- pulled out the grill plastic rivets and laid back the grill, winch is on so taking it off would be dumb also I could have left the grill unhooked with a pick and long screwdriver but then could not get pics of the connections for that forum write up
-unhooked both (don't want to piss off the neighbors) and plugged the adapter in
-used a test light to figure out positive and used a paint marker to mark it

now for the harness

Both horns connected and all the wires hidden away

the only question was where to put the Bad Boy well that fell right into place and fit so well all I had to do was a quick zip tie an put the plastic rivets and grill was back in .... Now off to the mall to scare Old lades and soccer Moms!!!

Trying to get the driver side motor mount out. It failed. Anyone do this yet? All bolts and nuts are out. That wasn’t bad with the fender off. But haven’t been able to lift the engine high enough to clear the post.

Finally got my rear Fox bump stops installed now that I got my hands on the Shift Autowerx rear bridge.

He talked about it once in another thread. He uses a special filter in Photoshop that gives it that almost RC toy like appearance.
